For those outraged:
invest in women’s athletics. (Buy season tickets, buy merchandise, send kids to their camps)
support women’s athletics (go to games, stream their competitions on ESPN, tweet about them, follow their teams on social media)
Grow women’s athletics
8:37am. My daughters
1) opened garage by themselves
2) got all batting equipment out
3) Liz in her coaching chair
4) “filming” CC’s swing on a old camera that has zero battery life.
5) getting better.
I love them.
I’ve seen a lot of non alabama fans say “ya know I hate nick Saban…but” and the post about his post game presser praising his players.
Ya don’t hate the man. You hate that his team beats your team most of the time. Call it what it is.
The amount of sooner fans that have been triggered by me wanting to have a rotating site for the WCWS to involve different parts of the country is high.
Very high. Lol
Trying to figure out when exactly
@Greg_Byrne
managed to nail down the Saban contract. He never missed a pitch, traveled to baseball, and took time to speak to many Tide fans he saw in OKC.
“You can pretend to care, you can’t pretend to be there.” Thanks for always showing up!
It is amazing what people can do when they come together!
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Thank you to all who helped fill this week with gratitude and kindness. You helped positively change the trajectory of two very deserving lives.

Conversations should begin about how to make life (sports)fun again.
Put less pressure on athletes (coaches know these challenges - parents & fans, I’m talking to you)
Pour into the person, not the athlete. Ask people how they are doing & WAIT for a response.
Be kinder. 🤍
MORE OF THIS, PLEASE.
Give young girls role models worth emulating.
In every facet of life.
Make it visible.
Make it relevant.
Make an impression.
We love you
@MontanaFouts
and ALL your
@AlabamaSB
teammates. You wouldn’t believe how many kids are watching 👀
As a coach (of a different sport) I can only marvel at what Nick Saban manages to do each and every year.
I hope all of us Alabama fans truly appreciate what he has given to us since he came to Tuscaloosa.
What a legend.
I will never stop loving
@AlabamaSB
Ever.
Thank you for so much joy this season,
#team26
Thank you

alabama softball is 31-0. if you are a disheartened basketball fan, maybe go out to rhoads and support a team that fights every play. every day.
but if you are going to be a fair weather fan...keep it moving. most of y’all wanted Murph gone the last few years 🤷🏼♀️
They exceeded every expectation.
They did it all with class.
They furthered the tradition of this program.
Thank you,
#team27
- it has been an absolute honor and a privilege to watch you play.
ROLL TIDE.

@UACoachMurphy
This picture is absolutely, positively and unequivocally why I will always support
@AlabamaSB
every single parent has got to love this. Every sports fan should. Cause I bet, at one point…you were the kid on the other side of the fence trying to “catch a glimpse”
@justwsports
I LOVE YOU BAILEY HEMPHILL
ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
YOUR RIPPLE OF IMPACT SPANS WAAAYYYY MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE AND I KNOW YOU ARENT DONE YET!
LOVE YOU! DAMN GOOD ELEPHANT
@bailey_hemphill
Congrats to OUR coach,
@UACoachMurphy
, on receiving the Amanda Grace Taylor Watson Award.
He has not only built a championship caliber program, he is the best ambassador for our university. He brings in quality humans each year, & they leave as prepared young professionals 🤍🐘
In case you needed reminding: Losing the first game of the season (or supers) at home doesn’t matter.
Winning the last one when you’re hosting a super regional does. 💁🏼♀️
ROLL TIDE
OKC BOUND!!! BAMA 🙌🏻

Before anyone comes at me. Sitting in hoover tonight, couldn’t help but think if the WCWS was there. Stadium holds 13k without temporary seating. Luxury boxes. THERE IS A BREWERY NEXT DOOR. And a splash pad. Plenty hotels. Amazing bham restaurants. Let’s do itttttt
@NCAASoftball
Patrick Fitzgerald Clifford is here.
I’ll post more pics later. He is in the NICU for lung stuff currently! We are thrilled. And I am so glad that’s over.

@AlabamaSB
played their first game in 1997 (in OKC). Since 2000, every player who stayed for four years has been to the WCWS at least once.
Incredible stat and model of consistency. Easy to lose sight of how hard it is to make it to OKC, and how often Alabama actually does
Hi, everyone.
Friendly reminder to be nice on social media.
You have no idea how hard it is when your season or career ends.
Signed,
Someone who has been there before
Raise your hand if you can’t wait to watch: montana, Bailey, Ashley, ally, faith, kat, Jordan, KJ, jaala, Alex, jenna, Aubrey, Kali, marlie, lauren, Abby, m’kay, Kristen, Larissa, Emma and Kenleigh ball all the way out?!??

Happy Portal Season, softball fans!
Some etiquette:
1) fans - don’t dog your former players as they look to maximize playing time/experience
2) players - be where your feet are. Embrace your new team fully
3) everyone - be a bit more understanding of every scenario
😬👊🏻🥎
My little man moved more today than he has the previous two. ♥️ hiccups, dreams & stretches were on the agenda tonight. His grip is mighty and leg kick strong.
Hey
#team26
, I love you
Hey, elephant fans: let’s be as great in our support of these women and this program as we hope they are in the field.
It’s one incredible journey. Let’s enjoy the hell out of this ride together.
RTR 🤍🐘
You know who needs thoughts, prayers, support and probably a world of help?
a softball player who suffered a traumatic injury while playing and since ending her collegiate career has had her life completely flipped upside down.
A RUN RULE VICTORY AGAINST
#1
WASHINGTON IN 5! 8-0 BAMA!
**And if you were SO quick to dismiss and criticize Alabama, you better think twice before you wear your pessimistic pants next time adversity hits. **
Trust this team and that a SB season is a marathon, not a sprint.
Guess who hasn’t showered yet?
No voice. Sunburnt. Praying that my parents will say yes to watching my kids for 2 extra days.
Happy Saturday, elephants and all you softball fans
To the parents...thanks for trusting your daughter’s decision to come to bama.
To the players...gas pedal! DO NOT STOP.
To the fans....wow what another great year. The

Students at UA consistently getting turned away at

You’ll see me proudly wearing the A next year. I don’t have to think twice about that. Murph- not only are you a hall of fame coach, but you’re a hall of fame man. I’ll die on that hill so Bury me In Dixie, Sweet Home Alabama, Roll Tide and Amen.
i don’t care what sport or level you are playing, to have played 28 games and not lose is remarkable.
winning is a mindset.
refusing to lose is a commitment to that mindset.
well done
@AlabamaSB
@UACoachMurphy
keep it going.
If
@AlabamaSB
means something to you, going 33-0 to start the season, to winning the SEC regular season, to being a pitch away from an SECT title, THEN YOUR BUTT WILL BE IN THE SEATS NEXT WEEKEND FOR A LOUD, PASSIONATE, SLIGHTLY ANGRY

There needs to be a Fluff Fan Scholarship Fund set up. For a student fan who loves
@UA_Athletics
and supports all teams fully, yet could use some $ paying for school.
Who do we talk to about making that happen?

@BamacoachBryan
Ya know what’s okay?
Being a stern parent. Giving young children responsibility. Letting them cry. Not giving them everything they want just because it is available to them. Letting them be bored. Having them play outside. Teaching them to share.
Those things...are okay.
Before the striped overalls, I went solid crimson. In the middle of the Tiger Walk.
Many many years later, I still Hate Auburn.
Roll Tide, friends. Happy Iron Bowl
